Canada Rocks!

Got this in an email. Okay...I have to admit, I'm not entirely sure about posting this (see why after the email), but it did make me laugh. :)

CANADA ROCKS....

Finally a joke that explains what it's like to be Canadian...

 Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on  the seventh day.

He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, Look Michael, look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place of great balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example", Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries". "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large landmass in the top corner and asked, "What's that one?"

 Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth.   There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found traveling the world.      They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they  will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm   also  going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players
who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."


Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed; "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"

God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the loud-mouth *folks* I'm putting next to them...."





So why my hesitation in posting?  Just have to add this.....
1. God didn't do this, God wouldn't do this.
2. I like Americans... but as a Canadian, it's part of what we do... we poke fun at the Americans.  :)
3. God NEVER just disappears
4. God's 'thing' isn't to provide balance.  God's 'thing' is the furtherance of his glory.
